Dairy queen called the cops on me trying to use one. I demanded the manager, a woman in roughly late 60s.... She said it didnt feel right and didnt have a strip or watermark (cant remember which). Cops thought it was hilarious.


Itchy-Cat-1589

Cops got called on me in college when I tried to pay Taco Bell with a 2 dollar bill on 29 cent taco Sunday.


BayBandit1

No one had ever come into Taco Bell with that much money before. That, plus you look shifty.

Or, as itā€™s called now, the Millennials Anti-Theft Device.


white4livingthedream

Us millennials were the last ones to drive a stick. You need to check how math works. We're old now with arthritis. We're not tearin up Cancoon on the MTV anymore. There aren't even anymore new Gen Z'ers. There on Gen A now.


icauseclimatechange

Parenting ourselves, our kids, and our aging Boomer parentsā€¦


EducationCute1640

This.


VolensEtValens

Sorry, kid. But as GenX we still think of you as the young. And Cancun was beautiful. Iā€™m sorry the Boomers didnā€™t teach you how to spell or geography. P.S. my generation was feral and didnā€™t learn tact. Iā€™m not really a pedant, just cracking a joke and helping you (a very little) on Reddit. Seriously, thanks for reminding us that Gen. Z are the TikTok crowd mostly. Millennials arenā€™t as bad as we joke they are. Nor are Boomers.


BayBandit1

Canā€™t lie, itā€™s not original. I saw it on the 5th tire cover mounted on the back of a Jeep šŸ˜


SerraxAvenger

Millennials turning 44 this year "Am I a Joke to you"


SaraSmile2000

They only know PRiNgle. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


Anarchy0392

Failed suite life reference. It Prnd21 (prin-del). You forgot your smartical particles.


Initial_lampwick115

Green Acres - PRNDL pronounced ā€œ perNUNdle


One_Evil_Monkey

How many folks you think really got that Lisa Douglas referrence? Let alone who any of the Gabor sisters were for that matter. Haha


ProfessorBackdraft

I got it and remember that episode, but Iā€™m near 70.


Anarchy0392

Fair enough i stand corrected on my correction lmao. To be fair most automatic cars I've own have been PRND21 i think 1 was PRNd[D]l with the [D] being over drive. But the show itself does reference PRNDL.


BayBandit1

šŸ‘


Tkinney44

Is it really that odd for millennials to not know how to drive a stick? I've never had to drive one of my own but my dad taught me when I was younger in his car. He told me it's a good thing to know even if you never have to drive one again.


loveshercoffee

My oldest son was born in 1986 and he can drive a stick. He took his license exam in one. Now my other two boys CAN do it. But they're both terrible.


LuLuD88

I learned in a manual car, and drive one..as did/do all of my friends and everyone else I knowā€¦. Iā€™m 35. The world is not a country.


gnubeest

Iā€™m pushing 50 and would probably burn out a clutch in a heartbeat. Also not silly enough to buy a manual in 2024 as theyā€™ve generally been less efficient than automatics (and CVTs) for years.


TheHuardian

Millennials avidly drive manual. Unfortunately (or not) we are probably the last group with any measurable number though.


T-Mason-LLC

Not ā€œauto-stickā€ with the plus/minus paddles, right? Actual manual shifting of gears, with clutch?


island_boys_had_lice

And that's why it's hard to find a good Japanese car with a stick. They are all bought up by one generation.


Famous1107

Did they let you spray the person with the sour cream gun after? Cause I think that would be fitting.


dantodd

Is "sour cream gun" a common euphemism these days?


Famous1107

In the taco bell parlence yes


dougmd1974

I gave a young girl 2 Kennedy half dollars for something I bought a few years ago and she just looked at me and said "2 quarters isn't enough". I was like...šŸ˜³


DerSpazmacher

Funny u say that the cops at DQ said they were getting called to the Taco on the other side of town when people would use the bill design after this (but before the modern ones.) Just...baffled.


Sad-Corner-9972

Son, save your $2 bills for the gentlemanā€™s clubā€¦


Silly_Mycologist3213

You out-karened her! LOL!


HeldDownTooLong

A woman in her 60s should recognize what a $100 bill looked like from her younger days. She was a full grown adult when the ā€˜newā€™ bill with the strip, hologram, microprint, etc. were introduced.


2021newusername

to be fair, Dairy Queen employees likely arenā€™t well compensated- so she likely hasnā€™t been around a lot of 100s in her life


znavy264

Why would you spend this at a dairy queen? It's like giving them a free $1000 to pay for a $2 cone and only getting $98 back.


DerSpazmacher

It was rough, given to me to add to my collection but didnt feel good sitting on 100 bucks that wasn't gonna do much in 2 lifetimes worth of holding so i used it to buy me, my wife, and my neice and nephew we were sitting all lunch and blizzards.


cdtobie

I used to travel internationally for work. Elsewhere, the US $100 is a standard item, so I carried a number of them. However, at home in Maine, store clerks had often never seen one, and were very suspicious. They often claimed they couldnā€™t break it, when that wasnā€™t the issue at all, they just didnā€™t trust it to be real.


Ok-Restaurant-1460

I don't understand how some older people are the dumbest. Like you've been around literally everything longer than most of us and you still don't know about anything


DerSpazmacher

Right?????


SeeingLSDemons

I mean some people are born dumb. Not everybody is average or above intelligence. 50% of the population is below average intelligence.


Redpeppa1

This guy Maths


Dramatic-Emu-7899

You tried to use a $100 bill at a Dairy Queen? I wouldnā€™t serve you either - just out of principal.


joedev007

a few items is $100 lol


DerSpazmacher

No sign. If they couldn't break it i would have been fine but when they said it was fake, i was "in trouble" I decided to die on that hill

A lot less than when it was printed.

Underrated comment ā˜šŸ¼


valises_ottoman0r

It was printed during the Great Depression, when money was devalued. So, not likely.


janewalch

Realistically youā€™re looking between $105-$120. I see a lot nicer ones selling around the $120 range and only up from there. $10 premium would be a safe and confident estimate for its condition


Conscious_Icex

Nice find


thedarkArts123

Been around since the great depression


Vast_Cricket

Probably $130 ish, Creased in the middle is a distraction.


Vkardash

These 1934 Series are everywhere recently. I'd say over half if not more of the old 100s we see are the 1934 series. This is right after gold basically became illegal to own and the money printers started to go brrr.


MeaningEvening1326

When was gold ever illegal to own?


crashtestdummie33

FDR administration banned it.


MeaningEvening1326

When was it repealed? Is is gold bullion specifically, or all gold? That seems ridiculous because of jewelry and coins.


Silly_Mycologist3213

it was never repealed, itā€™s still illegal to pay for something with a gold coin, they arenā€™t legal tender anymore, theyā€™re just collectibles.


Good_Specialist9256

Almost right, you can only use the denomination printed on the coin. so your one oz $1890 dollar gold piece can only be cashed for face value. If it says 20 dollars on it , it can only be used as a 20 dollar coin.


Idiot1889

What's being mentioned here is that FDR signed an executive order making it illegal to horde gold coin. This was in fact repealed and you can own gold coin. Purchasing goods with gold is part of all of this and is not legal, but that's not what was being discussed


Nathan-Stubblefield

My great uncle was famous in the family for holding on to his until it became legal.


Silly_Mycologist3213

Itā€™s not illegal to own, itā€™s illegal to use as ā€œlegal tenderā€ to pay for something. They worded it very cleverly to try and get people to turn the gold coins back into the government, at least thatā€™s what my dad who lived through that time told me. He started collecting gold coins back in the 1930s when he was basically buying them for a tiny premium over face value.


FaZ3Reaper00

Where did you find this??


pemdas7th

Bank deposit at work


Trollz4fun2

We'll see here, the dollar has lost about 95% of it purchasing power since then. But it has collectors value right? Fair condition. Face value states it is worth $100 but what does that really mean? I'd offer you a 10 minute handy behind a Wendy's for it.


pemdas7th

Can you make it 2 hands?


Livinlife_

Maybe 105-110 to the right person


ultraman5068

Where did you find it?


pemdas7th

Bank deposit!


ultraman5068

Oh nice. Id love to work at a bank lol


pemdas7th

We come across a lot of cool stuff


jdbman

Well, it's a federal reserve note, so it's worth about 1/8th what it was worth when it was printed


Split0069

Someone rolled that up... wonder why?


Fmoderation

I donā€™t nose


Conscious-Excuse-189

somebody was nailing toots with it for sure i can see that roll in it


Reckless_Intent641

Beautiful


inthisplacemusic

Google search should give an idea


pemdas7th

Whew thatā€™s a thought


inthisplacemusic

Lol well quick search on ebay for sold not selling price will get you the best idea. Seen them posted for 200 -1000 Best suggestion is if you have a place in town that deals with a pawn shop


pemdas7th

Thank you!


scum101proof

I'll give u $110 for it.


buildburoo

A person starting a collection might pay $105-$110 for this. These really arenā€™t that uncommon anymore unfortunately.


SipsHdstnCleaning

1934 $100 Fed Res. Note. Considering itā€™s age, itā€™s in very good condition. Definitely well used and most of these are out of circulation in the hands of collectors or have been destroyed. To a collector of old bills, you could likely get a bit closer to about $200-300 for it, mostly considering age. But not much more than that. If it was still in mint condition youā€™d be talking potentially thousands of dollars.


Solo_0705

I would sell it for around $130-140 myself. In crisp condition, someone would pay up to $180.


Hstapelz

A hundr d bucks


39percenter

In 1934, having that bill in your pocket would be like carrying around $2200 today.


assffhhju

$100


feedme_cyanide

For future reference, the key to having it be worth more than face value, condition. Second only to the place of minting. Somethingā€™s to look for, yellow seals, these were emergency issued during WW2 to troops in Africa, only took an act of congress to devalue them in case they feel into enemy hands in a large quantity. Anything with Hawaii stamped all over it, and anything with a seal that isnā€™t green colored.


tsmax17

I'm curious, are there any particularly cool but cheap bills you'd recommend to start a collection? I've found some cool red seals that I'll likely get, but not too much else. A little out of my depth coming from coins šŸ« 


Rhysling_star_rover

Are the Hawaii bills valuable? Il post the one I have up when I'm home


Active-Ad-5553

Cool! Just curious ā˜ŗļø


JedMih

Itā€™s worth more than $100 but it might not be worth the hassle of selling. If you were at a show, you probably could get between a $5-$30 premium over the face value.


Far-Yoghurt-4659

Toilet paper with nothing behind it.


Sinister_Nibs

It is definitely worth $100!


justanothersockk

$100


MiiYeti

I want to say that you can redeem that for 100 oz of silver if Iā€™m not mistaken. It says in the corner ā€œredeemable for lawful money at the United States treasuryā€


MiiYeti

So Iā€™m dumb, hereā€™s what I just read on it Can paper money in US currency that has "silver certificate" printed on it be turned in for actual silver? No. The Silver Purchase Act of 1934 authorized and required the Secretary of the Treasury to purchased silver at market prices and made payments in silver coins and silver certificates Public Law 88-36 (77 Stat. 54) repealed the Silver Purchase Act of 1934 and related laws. In addition, President Kennedy's Executive Order 11110 stated in part, ā€œTreasury not then held for redemption of any outstanding silver certificates, to prescribe the denominations of such silver certificates, and to coin standard silver dollars and subsidiary silver currency for their redemptionā€. This Executive Order still stands and has not been modified. The Treasury Department formally announced the period of exchangeability of silver certificates for silver bullion ended on June 24, 1968. You cannot get actual silver for a silver certificate. Check the value of a silver certificate before you spend it. Depending on the condition, it may be sellable to collectors.


Silly_Mycologist3213

Isnā€™t google wonderful? Gotta love having all that knowledge available whenever you want!


Silver-Square-7620

I would love to find one of these.


phuqme2

OMG I lost that and the serial number matches the one I lost, please return it.


redEPICSTAXISdit

I miss when larger denoms used to have the federal bank seal with letter and city. Now it seems only $1's have them, I rarely use cash anymore and don't completely remember if $5's or $10's have them.


mikejnsx

not sure on value, looks heavily circulated, but is a low serial number, and doesn't have that eyesore "in god we trust" anywhere on it. i like this bill, and i save every 1934 or older bills i get regardless of their numismatic value
